Zastupitelstvo Jihomoravského kraje 2008–2012 vzešlo z voleb do zastupitelstev krajů, které se uskutečnily proběhly 17. a 18. října 2008.

Výsledky voleb byly následující:

2008
Po volbách se do vedení krajské samosprávy dostala koalice ČSSD a ODS, novým hejtmanem byl zvolen Michal Hašek (ČSSD). Na sklonku roku byla během cvičení ZÓNA 2008 prověřena činnost složek integrovaného záchranného systému a dalších subjektů při řešení simulované radiační havárie v Jaderné elektrárně Dukovany.

2009
Nový dotační program SoMoPro (South Moravia Programme for Distinguished Researches) byl slavnostně zahájen 13. května. Klade si za cíl přilákat do regionu špičkové vědce ze zahraničí. Jedná se o zcela unikátní program, který svým zaměřením a rozsahem nemá v České republice obdoby.
Jihomoravský kraj hostil v rámci předsednictví ČR v EU od 31. května do 2. června ministry zemědělství a rybářství Evropské unie v čele s evropskou komisařkou pro zemědělství a rozvoj venkova Mariann Fischerovou Boelovou. Na setkání se řešila například problematika změn systému rozdělování zemědělských dotací nebo otázka společné zemědělské politiky. Neformálního zasedání ministrů zemědělství a rybářství zemí EU se na jižní Moravě zúčastnilo celkem 20 ministrů.
Ve dnech 8. – 10. června navštívil Jihomoravský kraj prezident republiky Václav Klaus. Prezident republiky se v doprovodu hejtmana Michala Haška setkal s představiteli vrcholných justičních orgánů, s rektory vysokých škol, pozdravil se s desítkami zastupitelů a radních v obcích i v sídle kraje. Kromě toho program akcentoval i rozvoj podnikání v regionu.
Jihomoravský kraj vyjednal s Evropskou investiční bankou půjčku do výše dvou miliard korun na spolufinancování rozvojových projektů majících šanci získat dotace Evropské unie.
Ve středu 10. června bylo při slavnostním galavečeru 1. ročníku přehlídky České ručičky v Divadle Reduta slavnostně oceněno zlatou plaketou 21 vítězů soutěží odborných dovedností žáků středních škol z celé ČR. V oborech cukrář a tesař se stali laureáty žáci z jihomoravských středních škol.
Při jednání s vládou o financování ztráty z provozu regionálních železničních tratí a jednáních s Českými drahami se podařilo zajistit dopravní obslužnost celého regionu, ale i 900 milionů korun do obnovy vozového parku. Na Blanensku byly otevřeny dva úseky nových silnic II/374 Ráječko – Spešov a III/36616 Uhřice – Úsobrno.
Rok 2009 byl také rokem významných zahraničních návštěv – na jižní Moravu zavítal lichtenštejnský kníže Hans Adam II. a v závěru září nejvýznamnější zahraniční host – papež Benedikt XVI. Šlo o výjimečnou historickou událost, protože Benedikt XVI. byl prvním papežem, který navštívil brněnskou diecézi. Bohoslužby na letišti v Tuřanech se zúčastnilo více než 120 tisíc poutníků nejen z kraje, ale z celé střední Evropy.

2010
Prohlídka nového kampusu Masarykovy univerzity v Brně-Bohunicích byla hlavním bodem návštěvy následníka britského trůnu prince Charlese v jihomoravské metropoli, která se uskutečnila 22. března.
Motocyklový jezdec Karel Abraham a házenkářky z Veselí nad Moravou byli vyhlášeni nejlepšími sportovci Jihomoravského kraje za rok 2009. Premiérové vyhlášení v celkem deseti kategoriích se uskutečnilo 30. března v Městském divadle v Brně.
Začleněním 167 obcí Znojemska a Vysočiny bylo v červenci dokončeno zavedení integrovaného dopravního systému. Jihomoravský kraj jako prvý v republice pokryl jednotným systémem celé území kraje. Kromě všech jihomoravských obcí obsluhuje další šedesátku se stovkou tisíc obyvatel v sousedních krajích, Dolním Rakousku a Slovensku. Do seznamu pravidelných spojů z brněnského letiště přibyly linky z Brna do Zadaru a Bergama, rozšířen byl počet týdenních spojů s Moskvou.
Výrazně do života kraje zasáhly povodně. Jejich rozsah sice nebyl tak velký, ani neměly tak tragické následky jako v minulých letech, musel však být vyhlášen stav nebezpečí. První povodňová vlna zasáhla Jihomoravský kraj v druhé polovině května, další pak počátkem června.
Po červnovém odchodu ODS z dosavadní krajské koalice se podařilo na dosavadní práci plynule navázat v nové koaliční sestavě ČSSD – KDU-ČSL. Jihomoravský kraj zahájil 13. července Týden regionů ČR na Světové výstavě EXPO 2010 v Šanghaji.
Zahájen byl projekt Senior pasů. První senior pasy slavnostně převzali 24. listopadu jejich držitelé v brněnském Besedním domě.
Byly uvedeny do provozu dvě nejnákladnější již dokončené modernizace krajských silnic spolufinancované z fondů EU: II/425 Rajhrad – Židlochovice a II/377 Rájec – Bořitov.

2011
Hejtman Michal Hašek 15. února uvedl do funkce ředitelku Krajského úřadu Jihomoravského kraje Věru Vojáčkovou.
Nejlepším sportovcem Jihomoravského kraje za rok 2010 byl 29. března v prostorách Městského divadla v Brně vyhlášen motocyklový závodník Karel Abraham – obhájil tak zisk této prestižní trofeje z loňského premiérového ročníku ankety. V soutěži družstev zvítězily basketbalistky BK Frisco Brno.
Jihomoravský kraj se v květnu představil v Římě. Program 17. května patřil především prezentaci kraje a jednáním na české ambasádě v Římě. Následující den se hejtman Michal Hašek za účasti dalších zástupců JMK zúčastnil na svatopetrském náměstí ve Vatikánu generální audience u papeže Benedikta XVI.
V prostorách Fakulty sportovních studií v Brně-Bohunicích se 17. září uskutečnil premiérový Dětský den Krajského úřadu Jihomoravského kraje.
V roce 2011 učinilo krajské zastupitelstvo klíčová rozhodnutí v optimalizaci středních škol zřizovaných krajem. Výsledkem bylo sloučení 30 středních škol do 15 subjektů. Proces optimalizace přitom probíhá již od vzniku kraje. V průběhu roku 2001 převzal kraj 278 školských příspěvkových organizací, k 1. září 2011 jich zřizoval 209. Počet středních škol se z původních 115 v roce 2001 snížil na stávajících 87; přesto je v průměru čtvrtina kapacit středních škol neobsazená.
Jihomoravští zastupitelé ve stejný den schválili Zásady územního rozvoje Jihomoravského kraje stanovující priority a zásady (pravidla) pro rozvoj a ochranu území kraje, vymezující plochy a koridory záměrů, které svým významem, rozsahem nebo využitím ovlivní území více obcí (tj. záměry nadmístního významu). V polovině roku 2012 tyto zásady zrušil Nejvyšší správní soud.
Do druhé etapy vstoupil program SOMOPRO zaměřený na příchod špičkových vědců do našeho regionu. Program je realizován Jihomoravským krajem prostřednictvím Jihomoravského centra pro mezinárodní mobilitu, z.s.p.o. a na financování tohoto programu se podílí Jihomoravský kraj a Evropská komise prostřednictvím 7. Rámcového programu pro vědu a výzkum Akce Marie Curie.
K dosavadním letům z Brna přibyly linky do Říma a Eindhovenu. Realizována byla první etapa koncepce sítě lůžkových zdravotnických zařízení v jihomoravských nemocnicích. V říjnu byl v Brně otevřen první Senior Point, informační centrum pro seniory.
Ve stejném měsíci byla ve Vranově nad Dyjí slavnostně otevřena zrekonstruovaná silnice II/398 směrem na Onšov. Vyvrcholila tak rekonstrukce silnic v této části Znojemska, na které Jihomoravský kraj od roku 2005 vynaložil 82 milionů korun. Průtah Vranovem nad Dyjí v délce 1,5 km patří mezi devatenáct staveb, které Jihomoravský kraj v roce 2011 zahájil.

2012
Zastupitelstvo Jihomoravského kraje na svém zasedání 23. února schválilo realizaci projektu SoMoPro II., který navazuje na již dříve zahájený projekt realizovaný díky finanční pomoci Evropské unie. Jde o cílenou a plánovanou podporu příchodu zahraničních vědců na jižní Moravu.
Díky petiční akci vyhlášené krajem společně se Svazem vinařů, Agrární komorou ČR a představitelů vinařů se podařilo dosáhnout toho, že nebyla zavedena daň na tzv. tiché víno. Zahájeno bylo několik významných staveb – Zámecká jízdárna v Lednici – multifunkční centrum, rozšíření Centra služeb pro seniory v Kyjově či Kompetenční centrum v Kuřimi, které byly dokončeny v následujícím roce. Jihomoravskému kraji bylo poprvé za dobu jeho existence přiděleno ratingové hodnocení – od společnosti Moody's Investors Service Limited získal národní rating Aa1.cz. Jedná se o druhý stupeň z celkem jednadvacetibodové škály hodnocení, který představuje velmi vysokou schopnost dostát svým splatným závazkům (ve srovnání s ostatními domácími subjekty), nejvyšší, kterého může dosáhnout kraj.
Jihomoravský kraj poprvé udělil titul Mistr tradiční rukodělné výroby, který je od té doby udělován každoročně.
Uskutečnila se druhá etapa koncepce sítě lůžkových zdravotnických zařízení v jihomoravských nemocnicích. Uspořené prostředky zdravotní pojišťovny poskytly ke zkvalitnění péče. Dne 28. srpna byla v budově krajského úřadu v Brně na Žerotínově náměstí otevřena firemní mateřská škola. Obyvatelé jižní Moravy mohli během října 2012 poprvé připomínkovat návrh krajského rozpočtu na následující rok v rámci projektu "Váš kraj, Váš rozpočet".

WOTF Website Upgrade
July 28, 2010 /0 Comments/in News & Press Releases /by Joni
L. RON HUBBARD PRESENTS WRITERS OF THE FUTURE HAS A NEW FEATURE IN A VASTLY UPGRADED WEBSITE
The most successful Writing Contest and Illustrating Contest in the World have just gotten better—entries can now be submitted online
HOLLYWOOD, CA—Writers of the Future has announced its newly upgraded website www.writersofthefuture.com which makes accessing the site much faster and easier. "But the best news," stated Joni Labaqui, the Contests' Director, "is that entries for the writing contest and illustrating contest can now be submitted online." A move that she said, "will make it much easier for aspiring writers and illustrators from around the world to participate."
It had been apparent for some time that the cost to mail a submission from many countries made entering the contest prohibitive for those whose writing and art should be submitted. And for the aspiring writer or artist still feeling the effects of a down economy, the cost of a hard copy story print out or quality art print out and postage, made entering the contest unreal.
"This change will markedly expand the playing field," continued Labaqui, "allowing the best in speculative fiction stories to be sent in from English speaking writers world over." And for the illustrator contest, "it is even more exciting as art has no language barrier and we expect a significant increase in entries from all countries."
L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future is already known for publishing the hottest new talent of speculative fiction. The series continually receives high marks and was again praised this year in a Publishers Weekly starred review stating that the anthology was, "Always a glimpse of tomorrow's stars."
As has been the case since its inception, there is no entry fee for either writing contest or illustrating contest entries and contestants retain rights to their work.
The Writers of the Future contest was created by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 as a means of allowing the newcomer a chance to have their works seen. Based on its success, a companion Illustrators of the Future contest was also created. And this program has provided that starting point for so many careers. Over 600 writers and illustrators have seen their name in print over the 25 years of the contests' history. And hundreds of contestants have continued with now-successful careers. At last count, there have been over 700 novels, including New York Times bestsellers, and over 3,000 short stories that have been published by contest winners. In addition to continuing on in the field of speculative fiction, several have gone on to publish in genres such as mystery and romance, to write for TV and motion pictures and to become editors and critics.

A new carrier, Avelo Airlines , is coming to Dayton.
Last year, nearly 600,000 passengers flew out of the Dayton International Airport. That was almost a 10% jump from 2021.
Last year, nearly 600,000 passengers flew out of the Dayton International Airport. That was almost a 10% jump from 2021. As passenger volume improves, aircrafts are looking to Dayton for expansion.
A new carrier, Avelo Airlines, will begin flying out of Dayton this month. Avelo airlines has rates as low as $49. The first trip is from Dayton to Orlando.
Other partnerships also are taking off.
Sinclair Community college will use a remodeled hangar for an aviation maintenance training facility. This facility will recruit and train students for careers in the aviation industry.
Gil Turner is the airport Director. He says more partnerships are in the pipeline,
"We go out and meet with these airlines and we have to tell the story about Dayton, what the opportunities are, what the economy is like here", Turner said. "We have to let them know that there's an opportunity for them to make revenue here in Dayton."
The airport recently leased land to Sierra Nevada, an aviation company. This company will build a 90,000 square foot hangar and add about 150 jobs.
Last year, the airport made roughly $25 million in annual revenue.
"We have to tell the story about Dayton," Gil Turner is the Aviation Director at Dayton International Airport.

Probst To Survivor Fans: TiVo Doesn't Help Our Ratings
Over the years, I've had more than one love affair with a TV show. But no matter how much I've enjoyed epic hits like 24, Alias or Joey Grecco's Cheaters, none of them have been able to generate the level of excitement that I feel when I watch Survivor. I'm not sure if it's the Machiavellian nature of the show or simply being able to watch an assortment of characters who are so wacky that they end up making Gilligan's Island look like the Love Boat. I love the show so much, that I even organized a home version of the game with my family over the holidays… and I ended up getting voted out 2nd for trying to emulate Russell Hantz's bulldog strategy.
Because Survivor is the number #1 show on my Season Pass priority list, you would think that I'd never miss an episode. But every year Survivor changes the name of their show just a little bit, so that DVR subscribers have to resubscribe to each new season.
While this may or may not be hurting Survivor's DVR consumption, the fact that the producers of the show haven't noticed has always baffled me. It'd be like me changing my RSS feed every six months, so that only my superfans could easily follow my blog. Unless you like languishing in obscurity, this isn't a very good strategy for retaining an audience or capturing people's attention.
Recently, Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor, launched a blog to promote the show and other charitable causes that he cares about. On his site, he solicits questions from fans and answers the more common ones. While all tidbits about the show caught my attention, one particular answer jumped out at me. In answering the question of how long will Survivor continue to run, Probst says that the survival of Survivor is dependent upon live viewers because "TiVo doesn't help us in the ratings."

It's Time For Netflix To Say Goodnight To Silverlight
In 2006, Netflix scored a grand slam when they announced a $1 million prize for anyone who could improve their recommendation engine by at least 10%. It took 3 years for a team of scientists to actually accomplish this feat, but the prize was ultimately worth far more than a million dollars in publicity and to Netflix's bottom line. Better recommendations not only led to happier subscribers (less churn), but they also made it easier for Netflix to sell the niche content that they spend less money on. Recognizing the benefit that they received from the contest, Netflix was quick to announce a sequel, but ultimately had to suspend their plans over privacy concerns.
While a contest to replace Silverlight likely wouldn't garner as much attention, I believe that the financial benefit to replacing this video platform could be just as significant.
Some will argue that I'm being tough on poor old Softie and that Silverlight represents some of the best video compression out there, but consider my logic for a moment. From where I'm sitting, Silverlight has two basic flaws: It's buggy as all get out and it's a bandwidth thief.
The screenshot posted above is a real life example of Silverlight in action. All video frameworks are prone to errors of course, but look at all the hoops Netflix makes their customers jump through just to support this buggy piece of software.

TiVo Granted Season Pass Patent
The US patent office must have unpaused their hard drives because, hot on the heels of winning a patent related to closed captions on a DVR, TiVo has been awarded another patent at the heart of the DVR experience. With the application having been originally filed in October of 1999, it took the USPTO over … Read more
TiVo Patents Closed Captions & Meta Data Analysis
TiVo doesn't yet know if their injunction against DISH DVRs will hold in court, but that hasn't stopped them from expanding their patent portfolio. In a remarkable filing with the USPTO, TiVo appears to have now won an important patent for analyzing and displaying closed caption and meta data to DVR customers. That appears to encompass enhanced TV services, including a "clip and sling" type technology and could eventually allow TiVo users to automatically remove commercials from time shifted programs.
According to patent 7,661,121, TiVo now owns the right to use existing closed caption and Enhanced Television (ETV) signaling data to create an interactive experience for their customers. ETV data is the metadata that content owners embed into their programming. It's been used by CableLabs and is part of the fundamental architecture behind big cable's sinking "Canoe" DVR advertising venture. While I would suspect that the cable companies also have patents related to how ETV data can be utilized, it will undoubtedly be another series of rapids that the long delayed project will have to maneuver through.
While the abstract for TiVo's latest patent is a little vague, devling into the details you start to understand why they'd try to seize this particular piece of intellectual property. Essentially, the patent allows TiVo to sync closed captioning (and metadata) from broadcast programs recorded on a DVR and then display that data in an interactive format. This data can be as simple as a menu or closed captioned text or can be as advanced as digital video and sound effects.

Battle of the Digital Media Players
While old school media types insist that content is king, when it comes to viewing said content, format and media player can make a big difference in the quality of the user experience. With new options seeming to crop up every day, let's take a look at a few of the most popular software media players (and video destinations) to determine which one may be best for consumers. Individual results may vary, but here are the criteria I used to evaluate each:
Format Support
With so many different formats out there, it's important that your top media player has robust support. Since consumers shouldn't have to scour the web to add additional functionality, I didn't include any plugins that consumers could use to expand support. Of all the players listed, the VLC clearly won this category. Whether you're trying to watch Quicktime movies or play a VOB file, if VLC can't handle the codec, you probably shouldn't be trying to play it to begin with. The clear loser in this category was the Netflix Media player. While I have no complaints about the quality of their stream, the DRM restrictions and the requirement for downloading the Silverlight plugin, makes their web player pretty limited.
Ability to Stream Online
When digital movies first arrived, you'd have to wait a couple hours for the video to download. With the introduction of streaming media, consumers rarely have to wait more than a few seconds in order to access to that content. While most video players are able to support this functionality, I feel that Netflix is the clear winner for this category. Not only do their video streams take into account your bandwidth to reduce buffering issues, but they also seem to have the highest video quality when streaming content. The clear loser in this category was the VLC player. While technically, there are ways to use it to stream torrent files while downloading, for the most part the VLC player is best suited for offline media.

How To Improve Sportscasting In Video Games
As a casual video gamer, sports has always been one of my favorite genres. I like being able to play an entire game from start to finish, without devoting a month of my life to beat the title.

New military boss warns he'll crack down on sexual misconduct
Lee Berthiaume, Ottawa Citizen
New Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jonathan Vance speaks during a change of command ceremony in Ottawa, Friday, July 17, 2015.
Concerns about military sexual misconduct and the threat of more belt-tightening hung like a cloud Friday over the ceremony in which Gen. Jonathan Vance was officially installed as Canada's new top military officer.
Vance took over as chief of defence staff from Gen. Tom Lawson in a comparatively low-key, yet tightly scripted, ceremony that featured none of the booming cannons or other displays usually associated with such an important event.
Yet those who had hoped Vance would draw a line in the sand when it comes to sexual misconduct in the ranks didn't have to wait long: the Afghan veteran used his first speech as chief of defence staff to address the issue head-on.
"It must stop now," the Afghan veteran told an Ottawa ballroom packed with military personnel, politicians and other VIPs. "Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind: I will not tolerate any behaviour that attacks the dignity or safety of any person serving in or with the Canadian Armed Forces."
Vance's comments contrasted sharply with those of his predecessor, Gen. Tom Lawson, whose own commitment to tackling sexual misbehaviour in the ranks had been called into question. Lawson faced particularly stinging criticism after blaming the problem on "biological wiring" (he later apologized for his comments).
The military has been struggling with how to deal with sexual misconduct in the ranks since a Maclean's/l'Actualité investigation last year raised concerns that it was failing to take the issue seriously.
Retired Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps was called in to conduct her own study, and found a "sexualized" environment that was "hostile" to women and left victims of assault and harassment to fend for themselves.
Vance praised Lawson's efforts to deal with the issue, including setting up a task force to chart a way forward. But Vance also warned that if military leaders didn't treat those in uniform properly, "the only people following you will be the bullies and predators. And they, frankly, are the most useless in combat operations. We're better off without them."
On the other pressing challenge, defence spending cuts, Vance was relatively silent even as Prime Minister Stephen Harper indicated the belt-tightening isn't over.
With an election less than 100 days away, Harper used the occasion to tout his government's support for the military, including the purchase of new equipment such as ships and aircraft.
He also took a jab at the NDP and Liberals, saying: "Countries that cannot or will not defend their own sovereignty and national interests, at best, risk being sidelined." Both opposition parties have promised to end Canada's bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria if elected.
But the prime minister also told Vance: "Within the budgetary constraints to which we are all subjected, your goal is to maintain a modern, combat-capable, highly trained professional force. One that I truly believe is the best of its size in the entire world."
Canadian defence spending as a percentage of gross domestic product stands at about one per cent, lower than any time in recent history. This is despite Canada having joined all NATO countries in pledging to aim for a target of two per cent of GDP on defence spending.
Senior military commanders have been forced to park vehicles, cancel training and cut back on maintenance. Some have been quietly warning that their forces are close to the breaking point. The worsening economic outlook threatens a return to deficit and possible additional cuts.
Vance said the military "cannot and will not rest on our laurels" when it comes to dealing with the growing number of threats and challenges both at home and abroad. He did not specifically address how he will guide the Canadian Armed Forces through this period of shrinking resources.
"We will adapt quickly to threats and events that shape the nature and scope of conflict and dangers so that the government of Canada and Canadians can always count on us to be there when we're needed," he said.
The Prime Minister's Office also took the unusual step of keeping Vance away from reporters after the ceremony.
Lawson used his own final address in uniform to laud the senior officers he worked with during his three years in the position. Some of them, notably the heads of the army, navy and air force, were seen as sidestepping Lawson by opting to take a harder line than him on sexual misconduct.

Interesting event so far. The first presentation surrounded Gutenberg and its accessibility and content creation benefits, as well as its detractors and what issues you might have with Gutenberg.
Having adopted Gutenberg at least partially already, I see a lot of possibilities for the block-based design.
I look forward to developing blocks both for use on my own blog and professionally.
I've run into a surprising number of old friends here too. I intended to meet up with Alan, a friend who I know through my partner.
I didn't know I would run into Andy McIlwain and David Chambo, both friends from my time living and working in Peterborough.
It seems my old company Whatever is quite different these days. All of the familiar faces have moved on.
The second presentation was a bit late (about half an hour) due to the projectors overheating. The content itself was interesting. Thiago spoke about the most common plugins WP users use and what they look like in a post Gutenberg world.
The lunch room was very full, so we stood around and chatted about old times.
The third presentation was about automation and featured David's boss. The tools discussed seemed useful but I am losing interest quickly. That always happens with these kinds of events.

...On Paula Deen.
Paula Deen admitted to using the n-word "a very long time ago". If you haven't heard all the details, including the part about plantation style weddings and how the media would misinterpret it, you can read about it all here. When the news initially broke, I wasn't incredibly angry at Paula, nor was I surprised... at all. She's an older woman from the South, and after my recent trip to Nashville, I definitely understand that racial tension exists in the South. Bigotry is often bred by bigotry... it's a cycle, and just like abuse, it's typically a tradition passed down from generation to generation. However, I stand by the notion that geography is never an excuse for racism - especially when you've experienced all the things Paula has. Paula Deen has sat on Oprah's couch: one of the most notable, successful, most brilliant black women in the world. To generalize an entire population even after meeting one of the demographic's biggest and brightest is not only ignorant: it's flat out sad.
I took a trip over to Paula Deen's official Facebook page to get a glimpse into what her fans were feeling. I was honestly pretty shocked by the overwhelming number of people defending her, and of course... I had to troll (#theyseemetrollin). Okay, I wasn't really trolling. Trolls piss me off. I simply left a reply to a comment that said something along the lines of, "At least Paula was honest. All of us in the South have said it at one time or another". All I wrote was, "No. Everyone hasn't", and was bombarded by notifications for about an hour straight. What made me angry was the fact that the only people defending her were - you guessed it: white Southerners. I believe that people are people, but in this particular situation, white people from the South will probably not understand the pain Deen's words have caused. Perhaps it wasn't my place to instigate, but honestly - I don't think it's white Americans' place to tell blacks how to feel about a notable public figure using a deeply historical racial slur.
Paula made an apology video. Two, actually, but she deleted the first one. I definitely respect her for admitting to her mistakes and facing it like a woman instead of hiding out and letting it blow over, like a lot of celebrities tend to do. I do not, however, believe a word she says. There is an awful lot of "me", "I", and "my family" in the video, and very few of her 2-minute long ramble feels like it's intention was to soothe anyone's feelings but her own. Most importantly, she fails to address the African American community directly. I think had she addressed the people she most blatantly disrespected, I would have let up on the issue a bit. At least she tried... but she didn't, really. Paula Deen is not sorry she thinks it's funny for black people to serve wedding guests "plantation style". Paula Deen is not sorry for how many of us - black, white, or brown - were hurt by her words. Paula Deen is sorry she got caught.
I think people who use racial slurs - any racial slur - don't deserve a place on television. But honestly, instead of feeling flooded with anger about the situation, I'm actually a little impressed. Why? Because the biggest food channel on cable dropped Ms. Deen because of it, and thousands of my fellow Americans are standing united boycotting a person who said a dirty, disrespectful word. The fact that the nation is in uproar does not mean things are going to be all sunshine and roses - but it certainly shows progress.
I don't have any poor wishes in my heart for Paula Deen. All I hope for her, and the bazillions of others like her, is that they learn something from the situation.

I like my Tumblr blog. It gives me a way to connect with fans of different books, movies and TV shows that I enjoy. It's an artistic outlet that lets its users create text posts, photos, gifs and movies. There is something for everyone on Tumblr.
So what's my problem with Tumblr?
My problem with Tumblr is that it allows for people to anonymously submit messages or questions to users. In this day and age, when cyberbullying is a national crisis, it is unconscionable that there is a major social media platform that allows this. It's time that the powers that be at Tumblr acknowledge this and get rid of this feature.
Now, I've actually gone back and forth with Tumblr on this issue before. It was back in the fall of 2015. There was a particularly nasty Tumblr account that existed for the sole purpose of posting anonymous comments about those applying to or participating in the Disney College Program. By and large, the messages on this account were negative. At least 95 percent of the anonymous messages posted directly targeted an individual or a group of people. To be fair, full names weren't allowed by this Tumblr's moderators. Initials and first names with last initials were allowed, however.
I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This Tumblr directly and irreparably targeted friends of mine. Heinous things were said. They were said about people who were already facing a lot of personal challenges. The people posting had no idea what the subjects of these anonymous messages were going through in real life. It could have ended disastrously. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Now, I went to Tumblr and I sent the legal and government definitions of cyberbullying, accompanied by specific examples from the blog in question. Others did the same. The response I got from Tumblr was that the account in question didn't violate any of Tumblr's community standards.
A blog that checks off every single component in the government's provided and chosen definition of cyberbulling didn't violate Tumblr's community standards. Needless to say, Tumblr did not deactivate the account, warn the account holder, or do anything at all.
I was enraged. I'm still enraged. I took matters into my own hands and dealt with the blog's moderators directly. I got them to shut the blog down. However, a new one that was dedicated to the same purpose appeared less than a week later. The moderators of this new blog were not as reasonable as the first had been and they did not shut down the blog when I approached.
Now, let me clarify something. This is important. I did not ask them to shut their blogs down completely. The first blog chose to but all I asked was for them to stop posting anonymous messages that targeted specific people and groups. I had and still don't have any problem with them having a blog or posting any content that isn't cyberbullying.
I'm one person. I can't take down every blog on Tumblr that allows other users or other individuals to be harassed under the mask of anonymity. You can be sure that there are still Tumblrs out there on which bullying occurs.
To be blunt, it's the fact that Tumblr allows for users to submit anonymous messages and allows blog owners to publish the anonymous messages on their blog. We have seen time and time again how the Internet has only increased instances of bullying. People feel more comfortable saying things about or to people from behind a screen because there isn't any direct contact. You don't have to see the person. You don't have to hear their response.
Add sanctioned anonymity to the mix and you are begging teenagers to misuse it. These kids don't even have to create fake profiles or accounts because they can click a button and become anonymous and post anything they want. How is this feature a good thing?
if you, your friends, your children have ever experienced bullying you know how damaging it can be, even if it doesn't end tragically. I urge you to talk to your friends and kids about how to properly use the Internet. Most of all, I urge you to join me in asking Tumblr to remove the anonymous feature from its site.

Man United ready to meet Borussia Dortmund's demands over Jadon Sancho
Press Association Sport 10:30 28/10/2019
The money demanded by Borussia Dortmund is significant but the Daily Mirror reports that Manchester United are prepared to meet it for the services of Jadon Sancho.
The England forward has been long rumoured with a return to Manchester, where he was part of City's youth academy.
The German club, where the 19-year-old has prospered, want £100m for the teenager.
Reece James is being hunted by Newcastle, according to The Sun.
The Chelsea defender, who has also appeared for the England Under-20 squad, will struggle for game time in Frank Lampard's squad due to the form of Cesar Azpilicueta.
Blow for Man United as Erling Haaland signs for Borussia Dortmund
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba was not ready for Man United's trip to Burnley
But he could get more time on the pitch in the north, with Newcastle manager Steve Bruce keen to see what the 19-year-old can do in the Premier League.
Leeds are another club interested in his services.
Arsenal fans want the club captaincy taken away from Granit Xhaka, the Daily Mail reports.
The Swiss midfielder, 27, appeared to respond angrily to supporters as he was substituted during the Gunners' 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
"It's not the moment to speak about that because first I want to speak with him and the club," Arsenal manager Unai Emery said after the match.
"We need to stay calm but, really, he was wrong."
Southampton and Manchester United are both hunting the services of sporting director Erik Stoffelshaus.
The 48-year-old was responsible for unearthing talent including Mesut Ozil and Manuel Neuer, building a strong reputation in Russia and Germany.
The Sun also says pressure is mounting on Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl after his side lost 9-0 to Leicester last week.
Defender Joe Gomez looks likely to be staying put at Liverpool, according to the Daily Express.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said he needs the England youngster during the current season, despite interest in the 22-year-old from Tottenham and Arsenal.

CLASSIC '70s: The Jam – 'All Mod Cons'
by Ed Biggs

Given his long-standing and venerated status as 'The Modfather', an artist who's never decreased his work-rate despite his various creative peaks and troughs over the decades, it's hard to believe that Paul Weller was once in danger of being on the scrapheap. But this was exactly the position in which he and The Jam found themselves at the beginning of 1978.
Signed during the major-label flurry for punk bands in 1977, the trio released two albums in the space of seven months that year, but the second of those, This Is The Modern World, showed a paucity of original ideas and failed to yield the breakout hit that Polydor demanded, stalling in the charts. Weller returned from the American tour dispirited, disinterested and suffering from writer's block. The first set of songs that he approached producer Chris Parry with were rejected by the label, forcing him back to the drawing board.
But rather than admit defeat, Weller dug deep and responded with a golden streak of songwriting. Released in November 1978, All Mod Cons represented The Jam's first fully realised album-length work. Full of biting socio-political commentary and observational vignettes of down-at-heel life from a youthful, disenchanted perspective, it saw Weller earn the label of 'voice of a generation' for a whole swathe of young people, locked out of a class-ridden society that was already beginning to value materialism over community with the imminent election of Margaret Thatcher looming.
"I'd found my feet. After This Is The Modern World, I thought, 'Am I going to let this slide or fight against it?' My back was against the wall. It was a matter of self-pride," Weller told Uncut on the album's 20th anniversary in 1998.
Although they were initially lumped in with the London punk scene of 1977, The Jam were always much too suave and sophisticated, in love with the Sixties Mod scene and unwilling to be restricted by its nihilism, to be labelled as 'punks'. The difference with All Mod Cons was that it represented the first time that Paul Weller embraced and built upon his 1960s R&B/beat influences, rather than merely copying them. Although their ascent to becoming household names would not happen until the next year, with the release of Setting Sons and its lead single 'The Eton Rifles', All Mod Cons is considered by many to be the point at which The Jam truly roared into life after a couple of fitful false starts.
The firing of that engine is evident from the very first moment of the 80-second salvo of 'All Mod Cons', a razor-sharp and absolutely direct moment of incisive punk. This prefaces a brilliant trio of songs which cut deep in their commentaries on British life, which both embraces the past but reformulates those influences to point to the future. 'To Be Someone (Didn't We Have A Nice Time?)' analyses attachment to material success through the lens of a pop star on his uppers; the savage takedown of a suburban drone on 'Mr. Clean' is all the more vicious for the dampened guitar chords; and 'David Watts' sees Weller take on a Ray Davies composition and truly make it his own, with its class analysis of an effortlessly charmed life of a public schoolboy. Andy Partridge, Damon Albarn and Alex Turner all owe their careers to the restless energy of Weller's writing and arrangements here.
Bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler – always curiously anonymous in comparison to Weller's reputation – come into their own for the first time, providing an array of brutally powerfully but surprisingly nimble musical chassis for Weller's songs. It's Foxton's prominent basslines, for example, that are the spine of the standout track 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight', a stunningly detailed story of casual, random violence with Weller's semi-poetic narrative telling the story of a young man being attacked by right-wing thugs. But what's most inescapable is the central nature of the writer to the action, the way the listener can see the world through Weller's eyes, that makes it such a compelling closer to an urgent, intelligent album.
Those songwriting skills can again be heard in the apocalyptic crunch and thrust of '"A" Bomb In Wardour Street', a track that made up an AA-side release with 'David Watts' which signalled that a more complex second wave of British punk was around the corner. The critique of consumerism of 'In The Crowd' and the bitter fantasies of the resentful 'Billy Hunt', while they aren't part of the top tier of All Mod Cons' tracks, were the kinds of songs that many of The Jam's contemporaries would have killed for in 1978. The acoustic underpinning of 'Fly' allows Weller to be a lot more vocally expressive than on the punkier, sharper tracks.
The tender acoustic paean 'English Rose', although Weller wasn't confident enough to even include it on the tracklisting or print its lyrics on the album's sleeve, was an obvious standout on an album of economical, slashed guitar chords. Although Weller's rough and ready voice isn't quite suited for balladeering at this point in time, its central charm and gentle, quiet patriotism shines through. It was also the biggest indication on All Mod Cons that The Jam had more substance than most of their contemporaries, and exemplifies the way in which they would escape the coming backlash that would discredit most first-wave punk bands.
All Mod Cons paints a vivid portrait of what it was like to be young, frustrated, unemployed and feeling isolated and detached from mainstream culture, of revulsion at a national identity dictated to the people by a disconnected ruling class. It forms part of a strand of British pop songwriting that stretches back to Ray Davies, encapsulated XTC's Andy Partridge and Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, and can now be seen in Jamie T, in Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, and in IDLES' Joe Talbot.
After they broke through to the mainstream the following year, The Jam would go on to have four UK Number 1 singles from 1980 to 1982, evolving to embrace soul, funk and R&B but also keeping their songs grounded and accessible enough to allow their massive fanbase to make the journey with them. 1980's Sound Affects and 1982's The Gift, while a lot less unified than All Mod Cons, were showed a breathtaking and headstrong commitment to diversity in comparison to many of their peers.

Then, to the surprise of many, they announced their split at the end of a short tour in December 1982, seemingly at the peak of their powers. The following week, every one of their singles re-charted in the UK Top 75. Weller didn't mess around, forming the patchy Style Council before embarking on a well-received solo career that continues to this day. The Jam's influence on British music has been powerful, their combination of melody with ferocity echoing in many Britpop bands in the 1990s and 2000s, and they're certainly up there with the very best bands produced by these isles.

France resumes lockdown to face second wave of 'harder and more deadly'
by Cheryl Hines
France will resume a nationwide lockdown on Thursday night in a bid to stem the progress of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The lockdown will continue until at least December 1st.
President Emmanuel Macron said he hopes to raise it by Christmas.
"The virus is spreading in France at a rate that even the most pessimistic person would not expect," Macron said in a televised speech. The number of contaminants doubled in two weeks. Yesterday, 527 of our Companions Kovid-19 passed away. Yesterday we counted about 3,000 people in the intensive care unit, which is more than half of our national capacity.
In the seven days from October 19 to 26, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control reported 254,000 new Kovid-19 cases in France, making it the fastest-growing European country in the world.
This lockdown will be different from the 55 days of closure last spring in three main ways: primary and secondary schools will remain open, however, universities will be required to teach online. Patients in care homes can receive visitors, who wear masks and social distances. Public services will be open.
Bars and restaurants will be closed to all except Takeaway. Unnecessary shops should be closed. Citizens and residents are required to fill out a form each time they go to work or exercise to care for a close relative, attend a medical appointment, or purchase groceries.
Macron said he would end the journey between French territories, but did not say how far people could go from home. He also did not say whether the time outside would be limited to one hour a day, as in the spring. The government will provide more details on Thursday.

Unlike last spring, Macron said the epidemic has affected the entire country. Hospitals have been forced to cancel major heart and cancer surgeries, which in some cases have been postponed since the spring.
The President said that Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain had already taken tougher measures than us. "We are one of the European Union countries that has been conducting the most experiments for weeks.
"We must respect the preventive measures … Like all our neighbors, we are drowning in a virus that seems to be gaining strength as the winter approaches."
Macron warned that the second wave was "harder and more deadly than the first." "No matter what we do, by mid-November we will have 9,000 patients in the intensive care unit, at our full capacity."
Macron said if France did not go to Lockdown, doctors would have to choose between road accident victims, Kovid-19 patients and Kovid-19 patients. "This is unacceptable."
In this order he listed his priorities: to protect the elderly and the most vulnerable; Protects young people because the disease can have long-term consequences for them; Protect medical officers who were still exhausted last spring; Protect the poor; Protecting the economy.
The French leader said there was no contradiction in protecting the health and economy of the people, because "there is no prosperous economy if the virus is actively spread" and "no health system can survive without a strong economy to provide financial support."
It was important to find a balance, he said. "There is nothing more important to us than human life."

He added that an additional 400,000 people would die if the "herd immunity" strategy was applied. "We will never allow millions of our citizens to die."
Risky people cannot be isolated in a bubble. The epidemic rate is very high, with 40,000 to 50,000 contaminants per day, perhaps double that number, and the testing, detection, and isolation method is impractical.

In today's economy, cleantech and renewable energy are rare examples of fast-growing areas of investment and entrepreneurial activity—but the Northwest is behind the curve in these emerging arenas compared to Silicon Valley, New England, and some other parts of the country. The Northwest, however, is developing nearly unrivaled expertise in one of the most exciting areas of energy innovation today—the intersection of cleantech and information technology. And whether it's energy efficiency, green buildings, or smart-grid infrastructure, the tools and technologies coming out of this sector will go a long way toward determining our region's growth and competitiveness for years to come.
What exactly are the most promising areas of commercialization in cleantech and computing, and how big are the opportunities? Are other areas of the energy economy also poised for growth that the region can take advantage of? What kinds of companies are venture capitalists and other investors looking to fund? And what should business and policy leaders in the Northwest do to allocate resources, maximize competitive advantages, and accelerate economic growth?
Come hear from some of the world's leading authorities on these questions at an evening forum hosted by Xconomy Seattle. The panel discussion and networking event will bring leaders in energy, technology, finance, and policy together with C-level executives, venture capitalists, angel investors, entrepreneurs, and other leaders in the innovation community.
Meet top executives from emerging cleantech startups, who will provide two-minute introductions to their companies.


This is a trip that I took in 2001, beginning at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, following the coast of Holland south and crossing into Belgium. East across Belgium through Bruges and Ghent, and then north back through Holland. There are nine chapters here with detailed description and lots of pictures.
A short trip after the plane ride from New Jersey. Trouble with my bike, and the first taste on this trip of lovely canals.
The rain begins. Along a bike path down the coast, more trouble with my bike, and the charm of Delft.
Following a canal in heavy rain and strong wind in my face. Arriving at a small hotel that charged almost nothing, but was unexpectedly nice.
Across the Delta Project span -- seven miles against daunting winds traversing this engineering achievement.
A ferry across the channel and a beautiful ride along a canal south to Bruges. Raining, of course.
Seeing the sights of Bruges as a tourist.
Following another canal in the rain. Being mystified in historic Ghent by the monstrous hanging basket tourist attraction.
How does one cross the river to Antwerp on a bike? There's a secret.
Getting lost on a bike is frustrating, but I eventually reach the end of the trip.


The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He that believes in the Son has everlasting life, and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
1. Great is shown to be in all things the gain of humility. Thus it is that we have brought arts to perfection, not by learning them all at once from our teachers; it is thus that we have built cities, putting them together slowly, little by little; it is thus that we maintain our life. And marvel not if the thing has so much power in matters pertaining to this life, when in spiritual things one may find that great is the power of this wisdom. For so the Jews were enabled to be delivered from their idolatry, being led on gently and little by little, and hearing from the first nothing sublime concerning either doctrine or life. So after the coming of Christ, when it was the time for higher doctrines, the Apostles brought over all men without at first uttering anything sublime. And so Christ appears to have spoken to most at the beginning, and so John did now, speaking of Him as of some wonderful man, and darkly introducing high matter.
For instance, when commencing he spoke thus: A man cannot receive anything of himself John 3:27: then after adding a high expression, and saying, He that comes from heaven is above all, he again brings down his discourse to what is lowly, and besides many other things says this, that God gives not the Spirit by measure. Then he proceeds to say, The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. And after that, knowing that great is the force of punishment, and that the many are not so much led by the promise of good things as by the threat of the terrible, he concludes his discourse with these words; He that believes in the Son has everlasting life; but he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him. Here again he refers the account of punishment to the Father, for he says not the wrath of the Son, (yet He is the Judge,) but sets over them the Father, desiring so the more to terrify them.
Is it then enough, says one, to believe in the Son, that one may have eternal life? By no means. And hear Christ Himself declaring this, and saying, Not every one that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven Matthew 7:21; and the blasphemy against the Spirit is enough of itself to cast a man into hell. But why speak I of a portion of doctrine? Though a man believe rightly on the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, yet if he lead not a right life, his faith will avail nothing towards his salvation. Therefore when He says, This is life eternal, that they may know You the only true God John 17:3, let us not suppose that the (knowledge) spoken of is sufficient for our salvation; we need besides this a most exact life and conversation. Since though he has said here, He that believes in the Son has eternal life, and in the same place something even stronger, (for he weaves his discourse not of blessings only, but of their contraries also, speaking thus: He that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him ;) yet not even from this do we assert that faith alone is sufficient to salvation. And the directions for living given in many places of the Gospels show this. Therefore he did not say, This by itself is eternal life, nor, He that does but believe in the Son has eternal life, but by both expressions he declared this, that the thing does contain life, yet that if a right conversation follow not, there will follow a heavy punishment. And he did not say, awaits him, but, abides on him, that is, shall never remove from him. For that you may not think that the shall not see life, is a temporary death, but may believe that the punishment is continual, he has put this expression to show that it rests upon him continually. And this he has done, by these very words forcing them on to Christ. Therefore he gave not the admonition to them in particular, but made it universal, the manner which best might bring them over. For he did not say, if you believe, and, if you believe not, but made his speech general, so that his words might be free from suspicion. And this he has done yet more strongly than Christ. For Christ says, He that believes not is condemned already, but John says, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. With good cause; for it was a different thing for a man to speak of himself and for another to speak of him. They would have thought that Christ spoke often of these things from self-love, and that he was a boaster; but John was clear from all suspicion. And if at a later time, Christ also used stronger expressions, it was when they had begun to conceive an exalted opinion of Him.
When therefore Jesus knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (though Jesus Himself baptized not but His disciples,) He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
He indeed baptized not, but they who carried the news, desiring to excite their hearers to envy, so reported. Wherefore then 'departed' He? Not from fear, but to take away their malice, and to soften their envy. He was indeed able to restrain them when they came against Him, but this He would not do continually, that the Dispensation of the Flesh might not be disbelieved. For had He often been seized and escaped, this would have been suspected by many; therefore for the most part, He rather orders matters after the manner of a man. And as He desired it to be believed that He was God, so also that, being God, He bore the flesh; therefore even after the Resurrection, He said to the disciple, Handle Me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones Luke 24:39; therefore also He rebuked Peter when he said, Be it far from You, this shall not be unto you. Matthew 16:22 So much was this matter an object of care to Him.
2. For this is no small part of the doctrines of the Church; it is the chief point of the salvation wrought for us; by which all has been brought to pass, and has had success, for it was thus that the bonds of death were loosed, sin taken away, and the curse abolished, and ten thousand blessings introduced into our life. And therefore He especially desired that the Dispensation should be believed, as having been the root and fountain of innumerable goods to us.
He comes to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there.
3. Nor was it merely to describe the place that the Evangelist has reminded us of Jacob, but to show that the rejection of the Jews had happened long ago. For during the time of their forefathers these Jews possessed the land, and not the Samaritans; and the very possessions which not being theirs, their forefathers had gotten, they being theirs, had lost by their sloth and transgressions. So little is the advantage of excellent ancestors, if their descendants be not like them. Moreover, the foreigners when they had only made trial of the lions, straightway returned to the right worship of the Jews, while they, after enduring such inflictions, were not even so brought to a sound mind.
To this place Christ now came, ever rejecting a sedentary and soft life, and exhibiting one laborious and active. He uses no beast to carry Him, but walks so much on a stretch, as even to be wearied with His journeying. And this He ever teaches, that a man should work for himself, go without superfluities, and not have many wants. Nay, so desirous is He that we should be alienated from superfluities, that He abridges many even of necessary things. Wherefore He said, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has not where to lay His head. Matthew 8:20 Therefore He spent most of His time in the mountains, and in the deserts, not by day only, but also by night. And this David declared when he said, He shall drink of the brook in the way Psalm 110:7: by this showing His frugal way of life. This too the Evangelist shows in this place.
Jesus therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus by the well; and it was about the sixth hour. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says unto her, Give Me to drink. For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy meat.
Hence we learn His activity in journeying, His carelessness about food, and how He treated it as a matter of minor importance. And so the disciples were taught to use the like disposition themselves; for they took with them no provisions for the road. And this another Evangelist declares, saying, that when He spoke to them concerning the leaven of the Pharisees Matthew 16:6, they thought that it was because they carried no bread; and when he introduces them plucking the ears of grain, and eating Matthew 12:1, and when he says that Jesus came to the fig-tree by reason of hunger Matthew 21:18, it is for nothing else but only to instruct us by all these to despise the belly, and not to deem that its service is anxiously to be attended to. Observe them, for instance, in this place neither bringing anything with them, nor because they brought not anything, caring for this at the very beginning and early part of the day, but buying food at the time when all other people were taking their meal. Not like us, who the instant we rise from our beds attend to this before anything else, calling cooks and butlers, and giving our directions with all earnestness, applying ourselves afterwards to other matters, preferring temporal things to spiritual, valuing those things as necessary which we ought to have deemed of less importance. Therefore all things are in confusion. We ought, on the contrary, making much account of all spiritual things, after having accomplished these, then to apply ourselves to the others.
And in this place it is not His laboriousness alone that is shown, but also His freedom from pride; not merely by His being tired, nor by His sitting by the way-side, but by His having been left alone, and His disciples having been separated from Him. And yet it was in His power, if He had willed it, either not to have sent them all away, or when they departed to have had other ministers. But He would not; for so He accustomed His disciples to tread all pride beneath their feet.
And what marvel, says one, if they were moderate in their wishes, since they were fishermen and tentmakers? Yes! Fishermen and tentmakers they were; but they had in a moment mounted even to the height of heaven, and had become more honorable than all earthly kings, being deemed worthy to become the companions of the Lord of the world, and to follow Him whom all beheld with awe. And ye know this too, that those men especially who are of humble origin, whenever they gain distinction, are the more easily lifted up to folly, because they are quite ignorant how to bear their sudden honor. Restraining them therefore in their present humblemindedness, He taught them always to be moderate, and never to require any to wait upon them.
"He therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus at the well"
Do you see that His sitting was because of weariness? Because of the heat? Because of his waiting for His disciples? He knew, indeed, what should take place among the Samaritans, but it was not for this that He came principally; yet, though He came not for this, it behooved not to reject the woman who came to Him, when she manifested such a desire to learn. The Jews, when He was even coming to them, drove Him away; they of the Gentiles, when He was proceeding in another direction, drew Him to them. They envied, these believed on Him. They were angry with, these revered and worshipped Him. What then? Was He to overlook the salvation of so many, to send away such noble zeal? This would have been unworthy of His lovingkindness. Therefore He ordered all the matter in hand with the Wisdom which became Him. He sat resting His body and cooling It by the fountain; for it was the very middle of the day, as the Evangelist has declared, when he says, It was about the sixth hour.
He sat thus. What means thus ? Not upon a throne, not upon a cushion, but simply, and as He was, upon the ground.
"There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water"
"For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy meat"
How is it that thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a Samaritan? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
If you knew the gift of God and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water.
Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from whence then have you that living water?
Already He has raised her from her low opinion of Him, and from deeming that He is a common man. For not without a reason does she here call Him, Lord ; but assigning to Him high honor. That she spoke these words to honor Him, is plain from what is said afterwards, since she did not laugh nor mock, but doubted for a while. And wonder not if she did not at once perceive all, for neither did Nicodemus. What says he? How can these things be? and again, How can a man be born when he is old? and again, Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? But this woman more reverently: Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from whence then have you that living water? Christ said one thing, and she imagined another, hearing nothing beyond the words, and as yet unable to form any lofty thought. Yet, had she spoken hastily, she might have said, If you had had that living water, you would not have asked of me, but would rather have provided for yourself. You are but a boaster. But she said nothing like this; she answers with much gentleness, both at first and afterwards. For at first she says, How is it that thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me? she says not, as though speaking to an alien and an enemy, Far be it from me to give to you, who art a foe and a stranger to our nation. And afterwards again, when she heard Him utter great words, a thing at which enemies are most annoyed, she did not mock nor deride ; but what says she?
Observe how she thrusts herself into the noble stock of the Jews. For what she says is somewhat of this kind: Jacob used this water, and had nothing better to give us. And this she said showing that from the first answer (of Christ) she had conceived a great and sublime thought; for by the words, he drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle, she implies nothing else, than that she had a notion of a better Water, but that she never found it, nor clearly knew it. More clearly to explain what she means to say, the sense of her words is this: You can not assert that Jacob gave us this well, and used another himself; for he and his children drank of this one, which they would not have done if they had had another and a better. Now of the water of this well it is not in your power to give me, and you can not have another and a better, unless thou dost confess that you are greater than Jacob. Whence then have you that water which you promise that you will give us? The Jews did not converse with Him thus mildly, and yet He spoke to them on the same subject, making mention of the like water, but they profited nothing; and when He made mention of Abraham, they even attempted to stone Him. Not so does this woman approach Him; but with much gentleness, in the midst of the heat, at noon, she with much patience says and hears all, and does not so much as think of what the Jews most probably would have asserted, that This fellow is mad, and beside himself: he has tied me to this fount and well, giving me nothing, but using big words ; no, she endures and perseveres until she has found what she seeks.
5. If now a woman of Samaria is so earnest to learn something profitable, if she abides by Christ though not as yet knowing Him, what pardon shall we obtain, who both knowing Him, and being not by a well, nor in a desert place, nor at noon-day, nor beneath the scorching sunbeams, but at morning-tide, and beneath a roof like this, enjoying shade and comfort, yet cannot endure to hear anything that is said, but are wearied by it. Not such was that woman; so occupied was she by Jesus' words, that she even called others to hear them. The Jews, on the contrary, not only did not call, but even hindered and impeded those who desired to come to Him, saying, See, have any of the rulers believed on him? But this people, which knows not the Law, are cursed. Let us then imitate this woman of Samaria; let us commune with Christ. For even now He stands in the midst of us, speaking to us by the Prophets and Disciples; let us hear and obey. How long shall we live uselessly and in vain? Because, not to do what is well-pleasing to God is to live uselessly, or rather not merely uselessly, but to our own hurt; for when we have spent the time which has been given us on no good purpose, we shall depart this life to suffer severest punishment for our unseasonable extravagance. For it can never be that a man who has received money to trade with, and then has eaten it up, shall have it required at his hands by the man who entrusted it to him; and that one who has spent such a life as ours to no purpose shall escape punishment. It was not for this that God brought us into this present life, and breathed into us a soul, that we should make use of the present time only, but that we should do all our business with a regard to the life which is to come. Things irrational only are useful for the present life; but we have an immortal soul, that we may use every means to prepare ourselves for that other life. For if one enquire the use of horses and asses and oxen, and other such-like animals, we shall tell him that it is nothing else but only to minister to the present life; but this cannot be said of us; our best condition is that which follows on our departure hence; and we must do all that we may shine there, that we may join the choir of Angels, and stand before the King continually, through endless ages. And therefore the soul is immortal, and the body shall be immortal too, that we may enjoy the never-ending blessings. But if, when heavenly things are proffered you, you remain nailed to earth, consider what an insult is offered to your Benefactor, when He holds forth to you things above, and thou, making no great account of them choosest earth instead. And therefore, as despised by you, He has threatened you with hell; that you may learn hence of what great blessings you deprive yourself. God grant that none make trial of that punishment, but that having been well-pleasing to Christ, we may obtain everlasting blessings, through the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ; to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be glory, now and ever, and world without end. Amen.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Advanced Placement (AP) exams will now be administered online.
Freezing teachers' plans
Parker Coady
Snow days have long been an unpredictable force in planning schedules.
Parker Coady, Op/Ed Editor, Semester 2
While snow days can be a relaxing breath of fresh air for stressed students, the surprise days off are a double-edged sword for those with busy schedules. Snow days often muddle plans made by school teachers — especially for those responsible for teaching AP classes. The "April Fool's Blizzard" hitting Hollis at the beginning of the month marked one of the last snowfalls of a particularly icy season. Given so many occasions this year that HBHS was forced to close or delay its start time, it's important to think about how teachers adapt their lesson plans to the unpredictable forces of mother nature.
Science teacher Eric Perry expressed that snow days make him glad not to be teaching an AP class, where a definite amount of subjects have to be covered in a definite amount of time. "I have more flexibility, more control over development… I don't feel the stress of the AP deadline," he said. This flexibility allows him to accommodate for the surprise closings, and subsequently alter his schedule to each class' needs. As for the recent closings in March, Perry said that his classes were mostly unaffected. "It's really just the combination of snow days and absences in the same spot at the same time… that's the part that's tricky," he explained. While collusions of students' and nature's problems sometimes prove difficult for him, Perry said that his lesson plan is usually adaptable enough to keep all of his students on track.
Annie Roy-Faucher teaches several levels of French class at HB, one being the AP variant. Unlike Perry, snow days tend to really scramble her lesson plan. "I adjust," she responded when asked how she deals with unexpected snow days. "You think about what's most important to get done. You say, 'If I have time, I'll do it. If I don't… oh well!'" Having taught AP courses for many years, Roy-Faucher said that she's learned from experience how to deal with snow days, and how to be flexible enough to rework lesson plans and deadlines. It helps her a lot, she said, that she tends to create very, very long-term schedules. As an AP teacher, Roy-Faucher has a few procedures of great importance. "I'm a planner… I think it's necessary to plan weeks in advance. Make a list of things you have to do. And don't drive yourself crazy!"
According to administration, HB has cancelled school six times due to snow this year. Four of these snow days have happened in the past two months. In addition, HB has had a whopping eight delayed openings (and one recent early dismissal) this year, leading to a grand total of fifteen days — over two cumulative weeks — that the school day has been shortened or eliminated because of snowfall. AP teachers can be thankful that New Hampshire's (likely) last blizzard in this long season fell on a weekend; their fast-approaching deadline depended on it.
